Benedict XVI and Cardinal Newman / Edited by Peter Jennings

Joseph Ratzinger was first introduced to the work of Cardinal Newman as a young seminarian, and has taken a keen interest in him ever since. The editor, Peter Jennings, has skilfully assembled key documents by the new Pope about Cardinal Newman, as well as important contributions from a number of leading churchmen. The thought-provoking sermons given during the Newman Centenary celebrations in Birmingham, in 1990, are published together here for the first time. An engaging and valuable resource, extensively illustrated, that will appeal to both Newman scholars and devotees alike, at a vital time in the history of the Cause of Canonization of Cardinal Newman.
